Café Weekend - Great coffee, vibes, and customer service! A must visit. Best of luck - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This cute little place will give you another impression of a coffee shop. First and foremost the coffee was really good, I ordered Cappuccino and taste was not disappointed. This shop also sells homemade cold sandwich, cookie. I tried a slice of banana bread and taste suits my preference as it was not too sweet! Barista was also friendly & nice! This place deserved a try indeed! read more

Café Weekend - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I live on the same block as this place but now just walk pretty far to get coffee. Their online ordering system is always messed up, you walk in and they hadn't even seen you submitted an order. Staff stands around talking and doesn't really do anything. Probably worst coffee shop in Seattle. read more

Was really looking forward to trying this local coffee shop. I Ordered a 16oz iced vanilla latte first off the coffee was about 8.50 which is actually crazy then it was put in a warm coffee tumbler cup, had zero vanilla and tasted like the coffee was burnt. Truly one of the worst coffee experiences and spent about $10 after tip. Won't be back... read more

Ordered a cappuccino and a breakfast egg sandwich. The cappuccino was on par, but they put the pre-made sandwich on a press for a couple minutes and then handed it to me. Bread was luke warm at best and eggs were still extremely cold. Disappointing that the sandwich was just that, cold eggs on 2 slices of bread. No other toppings. read more

This is one of our favorite spots to walk to on a, dare I say, weekend :-) We love the friendly service, delicious coffee and the clean atmosphere. The coffee is great. The pastries are tasty and they have dog treats too so our pup loves this place as well! Lately they have also been stocking a handful of household items and groceries - eggs, milk, ice cream etc. Highly recommend a stop to support this lovely small business! read more

Café Weekend - a person holding a cup of coffee and a cookie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have been to places with rude staff before - but never have I been to a place where I could call the staff hostile or even threatening... that is, until I ordered coffee from Cafe Weekend. From the outside, Cafe Weekend looks like a cute little coffee bar; on the inside, the decor and just as cute and quint. There's also larger and more open area in the back with tables - the perfect place to have a coffee, take out the laptop and get to work. As for the coffee itself, it was okay. If I were to rate only the coffee, it would receive three out of the five stars. I would say that it's on par with Starbucks although it cost more. The reason I'm giving Cafe Weekend one star (I would give it none if I could) is entirely based on my experience with the staff. Before I even entered the cafe I noticed that the woman working there saw me coming in and looked bothered. As she was making my drink she didn't say a word to me. I looked on the bar area near the window for a newspaper and wound up seeing a business card for the woman making my drink (apparently she is an actress and singer). I figured her entertainment career would be a good topic of conversation to break the silence; though when I asked her about her acting and singing she gave a sigh and only offered one-word answers. The real trouble began when it came time to pay for the coffee. I took out the money to pay but then the woman pointed to a small sign on the counter and said that they do not accept cash. I was totally surprised. I didn't even know that businesses could reject "legal tender" from patrons. I told her that I did not have a card to use. Then her mood turned dark and her tone hostile and threatening; she told me that I needed to figure something out because she had already made the coffee. I told her that if they do not accept cash then I had no way of paying and that I would simply not purchase the coffee - to which she said that she already made the coffee and that I had to figure how I was going to pay for the cost of the cafe using up ingredients. I actually felt trapped. Never have I been in a coffee shop where I felt trapped and wanted to just dart out the door. After some back-and-forth with the woman, I took the cash, put it on the counter, took the coffee and told her to keep the change. Then I told her that if they were going to be a card only establishment, they should make it more obvious. Then she told me that I should open my eyes and told me that I am not welcomed there anymore. read more

I love this little gem of a cafe. The people give great service. Their coffee is consistently delicious. Their other offerings are fantastic! I am going to start buying grocery items there. read more

We stopped here when visiting Seattle. It was right down the street from where we stayed. We loved sitting outside and sipping our coffees and hot chocolate. The young lady working inside was very sweet and welcoming. We'll be happy to return to this café the next time we're in town! read more

This is not my favorite place--although sometimes my only real option due to the location of my office. It kind of embodies a lot of the snobbery associated with Seattle coffee shops--but the quality just doesn't measure up. The baristas are generally cold, and unfriendly (although I've seen them be friendly with other "cooler" customers). They can rarely answer my questions about the products they're selling, and act like its a burden that I'm asking a question at all. I do like the decor--but the experience is just always unpleasant enough that I don't go back for months, until I've forgotten how unpleasant my last experience is. The drinks are ok--better than SBUX for sure--not definitely not top-tier Seattle quality either. They way over-split my cold brew. Super watered down. Won't be doing that again. Be warned: the bagels are just Costco/bulk bagels... and they send you off with a packet of Philadelphia cream cheese and a floppy plastic knife when you order said Costco bagel. The quality isn't awesome--but it isn't terrible. I'd be a regular customer if they were just nicer. I wrote this review after having similar experiences at varying times of the day over the course of about 7-8 visits. read more

Café Weekend - Caprese panini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is a pretty adorable coffee shop. They have a nice seating area in the back and have lots of cool books you can peruse or buy. I usually get an Americano and I believe they use Cafe Vita coffee beans. My friend tried a French press and loved it. We also tried their everything bagels and chocolate banana bread. Both tasted really good! Espresso drinks usually run between around $2-4. Their baked goods are also at decent price. However, you have to spend more than $5 if you use card. One time, the barista said I could just pay for a coffee for the next time I came in since I live in the area. Only downside to this place is that it's only open until 2pm everyday. read more

Came across this place looking for coffee while my truck was being worked on at Budd & Co. The coffee was good. The breakfast sandwich was decent, but lacking in flavor. The service was good. There's no a whole lot of places to sit inside, as it's kinda small. Not bad to grab an espresso on your way by. read more

Café Weekend - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good coffee Free wifi Cute back room with plenty of space for working Good food options - my mushroom/provolone/onion pressed sandwich was pretty tasty Street parking available Outdoor seating for a couple people ...but closes at 2PM?! This was a bit irritating. read more

Great service and tasty espresso , definitely has an all inclusive vibe. It's small but delightful friendly !

I enjoyed my soy chai latte (they can make it sweet, spicey or both) and love the fact that CW is only a 5 minute walk from my office. However the place is too small for my taste. Hours are limited. Current fall hours are Mon-Sat 8am to 3pm and Sun 9am to 3pm. The flipside is that it's local and its presence squashed into the not quite Rainier Valley/Central District area is a real sign of gentrification and readiness for art & change. To celebrate the upcoming Halloween holiday they've created a bar of treats for kids/adults to make a grab bag. Each item (candy, sticker, small toys) is 0.25cents. That is pretty cool! CW also markets itself as a book shop but all I saw was a small collection of graphic novel comics. read more

This a nice shop. Neat space off the main drag and surrounded by new residential development near Bus Route #7. Morning Glory isn't one of my favorite chais but I got that and a good panini sandwich. I don't recall outdoor seating, but it would be perfect on the sidewalk. read more

Super clean and quiet, this (very) hidden gem is located a block off of Rainier. I'm often found in spacious back room having meetings or planning a project. There are several large tables and nice meetings spaces. The ceilings are quite tall so it never feels cramped. The drinks are well priced, however to use a card (debit or otherwise) you have to make a minimum payment of $5.00, which always seems shady to me. I need to remember the cash. The service can be a bit surly and is not infrequently slow but the drinks once made are generally worth it. There isn't a huge amount in the realm of food - but what there is ... is good. Quiche and cookies are both delightful (although not together). read more

Despite the name, this cafe actually opens during the weekdays. I like this place, it's cute and cozy and have an extra room so you can actually do some work if you choose to. Plus it's one of the few cafe that I have near where I live. read more

Despite other complaints about space, they recently opened up a back room which is cool and very open - high ceilings, a couple of large tables, some eclectic, but clean decor. The good: Really cute, hip but not too hip, clean place with friendly barista. It seemed to me that most of their coffee was either locally and/or organically sourced. And, they have cute jars with all kinds of different candy all around the coffee shop - fun points! The ironic: It's called Cafe Weekend... but isn't open on Sundays. The bad: Open from 8am-2pm daily... who can make it here during those hours?? Okay, yes, I did but that was because I had a random day off. The drinks: I had the chai tea latte - the chai flavor was really, really good, though in the future I would ask for it to be a little sweeter. Mi amiga had an Americano, you can't really go wrong here. This place is hiding just off of Rainier, but it's worth stopping in. read more

So I think I'm a bit sour about this place because @ Cafe closed around the corner and I really miss it, so now I come here instead. Don't get me wrong, it's not BAD, but it's not great, either. I live in the apartments right next door so I stop in every now and then because it's convenient, but unfortunately I just don't really like it. For starters, the drinks and the food seem a bit overpriced (oh and there's a $5 minimum for credit/debit cards - lame - so bring cash if you want to avoid that) and I've never been all that happy with anything I've ordered. All the "vintage inspired" candy up front is cute, but again, a bit overpriced. There aren't many places to sit in the front, and I don't know anyone who would really want to leave their house to go sit in the back of a windowless coffee shop. Sadly it's sort of drab back there and a bit uninviting. Nice for meetings because of the large tables, sure, but not ideal. The main reason I don't like this place though is simply because their name is "Cafe Weekend" but they're only open until 2... Every day... Even on the weekends. They also have a permanent sign in their window that says, "Yes, we're open!" which always makes me roll my eyes since they're actually never open. Ha, so, overall, it's fine if you're in a bind and need something quick in the area (between the hours of 8-2) but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit. read more

Café Weekend has an unlikely and almost hidden location but serves the freshest coffee I have ever tasted. Their French press coffee has a delicious flavor and body to it and an excellent beverage for any aspiring coffee connoisseur. All of their offerings are displayed in an organized and adorable fashion on chalkboards of all sizes around the small shop. There is even high-stool seating available which would have been perfect for people watching if I had the time to enjoy my coffee not on the go. The overall atmosphere is laid back and inviting...just the way a local Seattle coffee shop should be. read more

Here you will find the most adorable selection of small pretilly (is that a word?) labeled international candies in glass jars for cents each! I love it. P.S. The coffee is also superb. Try a mocha. They are bittersweet and true to the original spirit of espresso. Rie is a great barista, and always friendly! read more

stumbled upon cafe weekend by accident on my way to work one day, the cafe is a hidden jewel in the neighborhood. the folks there are always friendly and easy going. my usual cup of americano is always made right and puts a smile on my face before i head out to work. if you want qualify coffee, this is the place to be. go there for a consistent cup of the best every day. while you're in the cafe, take a look around you, somethings will definitely catch your eye and grab your attention. guaranteed, the jars and jars of candy and chocolates will surely bring the kid in you. for something little different every now and then, they offer bottled specialty sodas, teas, and juices to compliment the full coffee menu. and if you're feeling a little hungry, try out their made to order sandwiches or grab a daily delivered pastry. don't be afraid to strike a conversation or two. stay a little while and make yourself comfortable, you just stumbled upon your favorite stop of the day. read more

This place is really nice! It looks small but there is so much going on (in a good way)! First off they have cute little jars of candy and toys you can pick out a few for a quarter! As for the staff she was very nice! Even said she liked my shirt! I order tea and it came in a cute set! All the food looked really good! The only reason i took away a star was the drink menu was very basic coffee/tea orders and the bathroom was clean but cluttered! If you are in the neighborhood it is a must see! Plus they have a craft room ^~^ read more

This place is cool and all. I like going there before or after I boulder across the street. I just don't get how you can call your business cafe weekend and close at 2:00 on said weekends? I don't get it. Also, they have a permanent sign above the door that says "yes we are open" when they have some really short hours. Besides that gripe, this place is good. read more

This place is most definitely a hidden gem- its just so charming! I ordered a freshly juiced drink and was very satisfied. Staff were friendly and it qasnt vwry crowded. The overall vibe was artistic and laid back. There is a spacious back room filled with tables, chairs, books, and more. Great spot to get work done. read more

This is a new must-try cafe, that will most likely become a regular stop once you make it in the first time! I had heard about the grand opening of Cafe Weekend from a friend, and I'm so happy that I was able to find it today! I know that it'll become a quick regular cafe for me, because I'm sick of only having Starbucks in this neighborhood. Cafe Weekend is unlike many of the coffee shops in this area of town--the style is kitschy and fun with tables and chairs that have a grade-school-like feel to them. One whole wall is blackboard style-- complete with chalk, while at the counter you'll find sweets like Pocky, Ding Dongs, and Chupa Chups that make you feel as though you're taking a trip down memory lane. As if that's not enough, the owners have sought out a special wagashi artisan that creates unique Japanese confections and delivers them to the cafe. They're amazing little pieces of art--and being that they're so difficult to find in Seattle, it's worth your while to stop by as often as possible just to see if they're in stock! While I was there, a woman came by and bought them all--whoa..hot commodity! There are other pastries and treats that are brought in from Le Fournil on Eastlake, and these appear to be equally tasty. So onto my coffee--a soy vanilla latte. This happens to be my drink of choice, so I definitely have had my fair share to compare it to. Not only did it come with a pretty little leaf design in the foam, but it was not at all bitter, or overly sweet, and was perfectly heated. I must have gulped the thing down in three swigs, because I found myself wishing I hadn't drank it so fast. This is a big plus. After speaking with the owner, I found that they are really working on creating a bigger sense of community in the area, and are interested in bringing more of the arts to the adjoining artspace. Can it get any better than this? I mean...I was hoping for something better than Starbucks, but I had no idea that this is what I would be gifted with! read more

This place is a great little hidden gem in the Jackson place/ ID neighborhood. I love the clean space, the fun decor, and most of all coffee they serve is great. I especially enjoy hanging out in the back space since they opened that back area up. You can tell that the owner takes a lot of love and care into setting that place up, running the cafe, and is committed in building the community. They organize a lot fun events through out the year like block parties, flea markets, open studios, and holiday/seasonal events. It reminds me a lot of cute hidden cafes in Japan, which are usually the best and feels really special. read more

The two times that I've been in I've had two different baristas who were nothing but nice and friendly. No condescension to be found. Cute little shop, sure there no windows in the back room which several reviews complain about, but you do what you can with the location. It's obviously not your typical café... But I like it. read more

Excellent French press coffee with quiet desk area to work. On the way to the freeway so I would definitely stop by again.

I want to make Café Weekend my home away from home. The café was started by two graphic designers, and they did a fabulous job curating all the unique and wonderful décor that ornaments the space. What I love most about the café is that it serves Caffé Vita and not Stumptown. I must be the only coffee drinker in Seattle that is not a Stumptown fan. A stop into Café Weekend before I commence my daily commute is always a wonderful guilty pleasure. Now to find a way to work from home in this café. read more

Came here at 9:30 on a Saturday morning and they were closed, despite their posted hours saying they should be open. Hipster irony?

Really kind people. They have excellent hemp milk lattes!! It's hard to find a good one anywhere, so it's worth mentioning. Their french press coffee is also great. Cute atmosphere, good new neighborhood spot. I haven't yet tried their breakfast sandwiches, but I look forward to! read more

So cute with the back area with all the books! Great coffee, decent breakfast sandwich grilled up and served to me outside with some sriracha :) 10/10 would return for me time. Why do they close at 2pm???? read more

I find it really ironic that a place with the word "Weekend" in their name ISN'T open on a sunday.... I stopped by on a Saturday morning to get a quick iced mocha. 2 hipsters were behind the counter and one woman was making an order. I was barely given any attention. No hello, nothing. I could tell it was the barista's first week there because the cashier had to teacher how to make my drink. My mocha was super bitter :( I like the decorations of the cafe, but it screams HIPSTER. Like they're trying just a little too hard. Atleast I know I don't ever have to come back. read more

Good coffee, but weird hours. One day, I went on the weekend during mid-day and it was closed. "Cafe Weekend" might be the wrong name for this place. read more
